Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes, a light-emitting lamination, a plurality of second electrodes, and one or more protruding layers. The plurality of first electrodes extend in parallel to each other on the substrate. The light-emitting lamination covers the plurality of first electrodes. The plurality of second electrodes extend across the light-emitting lamination and extend in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes. The one or more protruding layers are formed on the substrate and protrude from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes. Respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on the one or more protruding layers.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A display device, comprising:
 a substrate; 
 a plurality of first electrodes extending in parallel to each other on the substrate; 
 a light-emitting lamination covering the plurality of first electrodes; 
 a plurality of second electrodes extending across the light-emitting lamination and extending in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes; and 
 one or more protruding layers formed on the substrate and protruding from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes, wherein 
 respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on the one or more protruding layers, and wherein 
 the one or more protruding layers are at least substantially coplanar with said first electrodes and are overlapped by a light-emitting layer of said light-emitting lamination. 
 
     
     
       2. A display device, comprising:
 a substrate; 
 a plurality of first electrodes extending in parallel to each other on the substrate; 
 a light-emitting lamination covering the plurality of first electrodes; and 
 a plurality of second electrodes extending across the light-emitting lamination and extending in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes, wherein 
 respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on one or more protruding layers protruding from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes, and wherein 
 the one or more protruding layers are substantially covered by the respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination, and are a plurality of bars extending in parallel to each other in an extending direction of the second electrodes. 
 
     
     
       3. A display device, comprising:
 a substrate; 
 a plurality of first electrodes extending in parallel to each other on the substrate; 
 a light-emitting lamination covering the plurality of first electrodes; and 
 a plurality of second electrodes extending across the light-emitting lamination and extending in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes, wherein 
 respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on one or more protruding layers protruding from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes, and wherein 
 the one or more protruding layers are substantially covered by the respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination, and have a hollow quadrangular shape. 
 
     
     
       4. A display device, comprising:
 a substrate; 
 a plurality of first electrodes extending in parallel to each other on the substrate; 
 a light-emitting lamination covering the plurality of first electrodes; and 
 a plurality of second electrodes extending across the light-emitting lamination and extending in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes, wherein 
 respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on one or more protruding layers protruding from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes, and wherein 
 the one or more protruding layers are substantially covered by the respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination, and have a ring shape. 
 
     
     
       5. A display device, comprising:
 a substrate; 
 a plurality of first electrodes extending in parallel to each other on the substrate; 
 a light-emitting lamination covering the plurality of first electrodes; and 
 a plurality of second electrodes extending across the light-emitting lamination and extending in parallel to each other at an angle with respect to an extending direction of the first electrodes, wherein 
 respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination are formed on one or more protruding layers protruding from a side end of the light-emitting lamination in an extending direction of the second electrodes, and wherein 
 the one or more protruding layers are substantially covered by the respective portions of the plurality of second electrodes which extend outside of the light-emitting lamination, and are a plurality of “V-shaped” bars extending in parallel to each other. 
 
     
     
       6. The display device according to any one of  claims 1  and  2  to  5 , wherein a thickness of the one or more protruding layers is about 1/10 to about ½ of a thickness of the light-emitting lamination. 
     
     
       7. The display device according to any one of  claims 1  and  2  to  5 , wherein a protruding length of the one or more protruding layers is about 2 mm or more. 
     
     
       8. The display device according to any one of  claims 1  and  2  to  5 , wherein the one or more protruding layers are formed from a same material as that of the first electrodes. 
     
     
       9. The display device according to any one of  claims 1  and  2  to  5 , wherein the display device is of an inorganic luminescent display type.
